C.K.=s appointed counsel on appeal filed a brief asserting that the appeal is frivolous. The brief complies with the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744-45 (1967). See In re D.A.S., 973 S.W.2d 296, 299 (Tex. 1998) (applying Anders in juvenile proceedings). Counsel states that he has diligently examined the record and researched the law applicable to the facts and issues in the case. Counsel=s brief contains a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no meritorious errors to be advanced. A copy of counsel=s brief was delivered to C.K. and he was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. 1 A pro se brief has not been filed. We have independently reviewed the record and agree that the appeal is frivolous. We affirm the district court=s order. __________________________________________ Lee Yeakel, Justice Before Justices Kidd, Yeakel and Patterson Affirmed Filed: April 17, 2003 1 Appellant was born November 3, 1983, and so was over eighteen at the time of this proceeding and at the time the brief was delivered to him.
